The addition of the C# programming language capability for Smart
Printing offers a simple, reliable and economical approach to Smart
Printing development for customers looking to improve accuracy, improve
operations and virtually eliminate labeling errors. Additionally,
because Intermec’s printers are the only printers in the market with a
built-in numeric key-pad, Intermec C# will offer customers a lower total
cost of ownership (TCO) by virtually eliminating any need for an
attached computer, keyboard or other cabling elements in many
industrial, retail and distribution center applications.

“For more than 20 years, Intermec and its partners have delivered
leading Smart Printing solutions to enterprises around the world, and
Intermec C# language support for Smart Printing adds yet another way for
businesses to simplify their printing operations and cut costs,” said
Chuck Dourlet, Intermec Vice President of Printers & Media. “With the
brainpower of a personal computer built directly into the printer,
Intermec Smart Printing with C# offers a cost-effective, intuitive,
programmable Smart Printing development option for businesses to improve
performance and reliability, ultimately boosting customer satisfaction.”

Smart Printers work by running applications directly in the printer, so
they do not require a separate computer to control the label printing
process. They also can interact with other devices in the enterprise.
Intermec C# will be included directly in the printer’s firmware, so will
not require a separate purchase.

“Intermec C# for Printers provides our partners who have Microsoft® .NET
development skills a new way to deliver high-powered printer-based
solutions using tools they are already familiar with,” said Karl Perry,
Intermec Sr. Product Manager for Printer Software. “The Fingerprint
language that started Smart Printing has served us well and now C# for
Printers improves on that legacy by providing a powerful set of tools
that virtually all software developers already know how to use. The
result will be even better in-printer applications.”

“Over the last 10 years, we have created powerful applications with the
successful use of Smart Printing technology with Fingerprint, and
Herbert looks forward to creating enhanced applications with C# for
Printers,” said Quest. “The new and sophisticated interface capabilities
that it provides facilitate an enhanced level of intuitive applications
for our users, enabling us to leverage the C# skillset of all of our
developers.”

“We are excited at the potential to add a color, full-touch user
interface to our kiwifruit applications that run in the Intermec
printers,” said Lawton. “This will allow us to create even more
sophisticated solutions that better serve our customers.”
